Despite the tongue sticking, Alexa had to admit it was a little true. When had flying gotten so hard? When did her joints decided to start stiffening on her at random?? "Louisa said she'd send me something for that. Thinks you've scared me sensless and given me grey hair then had Quidditch damage me further." Leave it to the former Claw to have the best outlooks on life.
The Fifth Year stepped to the side and allowed Alice to cast, waiting for the time when she'd be allowed to stick her hand in and test the fire. It was a reoccuring theme it seemed. First fire that didn't burn in Potions and now this but she wasn't complaining.
Was she done? Yes? The doll was going into the fire so that was a yes. The girl watched it for a moment, pleased it'd stayed white then reached into the fire and placed hers next to Alice.
Now then. Ahem. "Good job Alice. I knew we'd get it right if we cast together! Excellent work. Let's have s'mores now." Because no one saw anything and they TOTALLY just cast together, right Alice? yes? Of course. Food?
Grin.
"Always blame the wand." That's what she'd done when she was in her fourth year and couldn't cast anything to save her life, did Lex know?
"And I don't scare you senseless. You guys should be grateful I don't carry a bat around and threaten to hit you with it 24/7." Alice was nothing compared to her predecessor. Now that was scary.
Kidding, she was totally more terrifying than a Selina. Any day.
She didn't touch the flames to retrieve the two white dolls, since the professor had claimed they tickled. What was with him and Culloden, were they coordinating lesson plans or something? And why was Cambridge trying to get out of doing work?
"Get that effigy junk back out and cast it yourself. Merlin, is the legendary Alexa Cambridge afraid of a spell?"
